Sausage Portobello Pizzas

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 450°F. Place the mushroom caps gill side up on a baking sheet and drizzle with EVOO. Roast for 12 minutes, or until tender.

   Step 2

   Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of EVOO to the pan and add the sausage. Break up and brown the sausage for 5 to 7 minutes, until no pink remains. Transfer the cooked meat to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

   Step 3

   Remove the caps from the oven or toaster oven and top each of them with a layer of marinara or pizza sauce, cooked sausage, and cheese. Return the caps to the oven and bake for 3 or 4 minutes to melt the cheese and brown it at the edges. Remove the pizzas from the oven and top with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning or dried oregano.
